LOTRO

This game is now in open beta and going live on the 24th, thus far I am absolutely loving this MMO, which is very polished for being a beta.

Who else is playing this awesome game?

Have heard reviews good and bad about it, going to let it pan out myself.

Pretty burned out on WoW as of late. I'm going to pick up this game and try it out triple boxing and see what happens. It definitely looks like what I need in terms of a relaxed environment, and more mature players.

You could not be any more correct.

I am sitting on the Meneldor server btw.

Very nice! I can't decide what I want for my 3rd class. I have Guardian as my main and Minstrel as support/healing, trying to figure out the best class for the final slot. Leaning towards a Burglar but I want something I don't have to focus on too much. Perhaps hunter fills that roll well?

I would say so, they are very versatile and the range is amazing at times.

Moved from WoW to LOTRO yesterday. I was in closed beta and open beta.

I am dual-boxing a Guardian/Minstrel right now. Everything seems fine so far except for autofollow. It breaks rather easily compared to WoW (if you have to loot, or click away from your party leader, you will lose follow), which is pretty annoying. I haven't found a way to bind AF to a mouse or keyboard key either. I'll most likely add it in a movement macro.

I guess you could use the alias system, but it would be just as annoying to do: /alias ;f /follow (or whatever).

I will probably try 2 Hunters tonight, as they are the "nukers" of LOTRO.

I haven't purchased the game yet, but from what I am reading tripleboxing ( especially different classes) might be harder than it's worth, for enjoyment factor that is. How difficult/fun is guardian/minstrel dual boxing?

Hrmm, just got the game, not really feeling it. I guess I was expecting something completely different. It doesn't feel smooth at all.

Give things to lvl 15.
